| Like all great things, it starts with an ending
|
| The door slams shut and you fall in love again
|
| I’m sicker than I’ve ever been
|
| And I don’t know when it’s gonna stop
|
| I’m crying in my car
|
| Parked outside the dog park
|
| I don’t know if I can make it
|
| If I don’t make it
|
| To Allston for lunch, tell Jeff I’m sorry
|
| I didn’t mean it, something came up
|
| In the sweet heat of a dead or dying summer
|
| I’m night-swimming down methadone mile
|
| And ugly crying, I’m trying to call you a ride
|
| Before my phone dies, this is the last time
|
| Later on beneath the unlit sign
|
| Outside the S-Mart
|
| Our stressed out highs collide and separate us
|
| But before you can dive into the shallow black water of my heart
|
| Stomach pangs pull us apart
|
| It’s coming at me, like a car in the night
|
| I live and die
|
| In the headlights
|
| I go down sometimes, but they still pay me, baby
|
| I’m graceful when I’m falling, everyone applauding
|
| Come back to life
|
| Before my telephone rings
|
| In the desert, I swore that I was born again
|
| Not in a church, but under neon heaven
|
| You made it hard to have grace
|
| Day after day, from the clinic to the grave |
